In the early hours of September 12, Times Higher Education released the 2020 World University Rankings. This ranking has been updated annually since 2004. This year's ranking is the most extensive to date, including 1,396 universities from 92 countries/regions, with a total of 1,820 institutions choosing to participate and receiving a total of 251,000 data points. Last year, it included 1,258 universities from 86 regions.
The ranking uses 13 indicators across five categories—teaching, research, citations, international outlook, and industry income—to rank the top 1,000+ universities worldwide (covering nearly 90 countries and regions).
The ranking indicators are:
Teaching (learning environment): 30%;
Research (volume, income, and reputation): 30%
Citations (research influence): 30%
International outlook (staff, students, and research): 7.5%
Industry income (knowledge transfer): 2.5%
The specific 13 indicators and their weights are shown in the figure below:
In this year's World University Rankings, the United States has dominated the global university rankings for the 16th consecutive year! Among the world's top 10, the US occupies 7; it holds 24 in the top 30; 40 in the top 100; and 60 in the top 200.
The California Institute of Technology rose from fifth to second place, becoming a top-ranked institution in the US; Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ranked 4th and 5th respectively; Princeton University and Harvard University ranked 6th and 7th respectively; Yale University remained firmly in eighth place; and the University of Chicago rose one spot to ninth.
The UK's Times Higher Education World University Rankings is one of the four globally recognized prestigious university rankings, alongside the UK's QS World University Rankings, the US's US News World University Rankings, and China's ARWU Academic Ranking of World Universities. In fact, in these highly representative ranking lists, the top 10 universities have long been almost entirely dominated by the United States. This is one of the main reasons why tens of thousands of Chinese students go to the US for study every year, and why parents choose to immigrate to the US for their children's education.
Friends who have long followed the trends in US study and immigration policies are well aware that there is a world of difference between students with green cards and international students when attending top US universities. The difference is not only reflected in tuition costs, scholarship applications, and student loans, but also plays a key role in future employment opportunities and admission rates to top schools. Students themselves can also enjoy the invisible benefits brought by "green card status." There are a thousand reasons to head west, but opportunities will ultimately only be reserved for those who are fully prepared. Whether for studying in the US or for Chinese families immigrating to the US for their children's education, it is necessary to plan ahead to obtain permanent residency in the US.
Currently, it is a good time to plan for your child's US status. The EB-5 investment immigration program, which is most favored by investors, has been confirmed to increase in price on November 21. At that time, the investment amount will nearly double: the investment amount for Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) will increase from $500,000 to $900,000, and the investment amount for non-Targeted Employment Areas will increase from $1 million to $1.8 million.
There are only 64 days left to immigrate to the US at the low price of $500,000. There is not much time left for investors, and it is urgent to catch the "last train" before the price increase. Currently, the Dallas No. 1 project, which is most favored by investors in the market, is the best choice to help investors catch the last train of low-price immigration to the US. This project has numerous advantages, maximizing the protection of investors' interests.
Advantages of the Dallas No. 1 EB-5 Project:
● "Double approval" of the project I-526 exemplar and individual investor cases
● Located in the diamond zone of the US economic growth pole, with an excellent geographical location
